    Tire Pressure Monitor

    There absolutely is data! Here is a link to one such component that is used in cars - it takes pressure, temperature, and acceleration measurements and runs then through an 8-bit micro before sending to the wireless link. Even if Tesla is using a much lower-end chip, they almost assuredly have...

    Miles per kWh

    TXjak, was this from a whole-home electric utility meter? Especially when you consider that you would also need to subtract the baseline energy usage of your home during that 10 hours in order to know how much of the 41.4 kWh actually went into the car, that percentage feels too high.

    Texas registration issues and steps to navigate them

    It looks like I'll be getting the car before the paperwork. The truck driver called between my first post and now. He's delivering two to Austin tomorrow so congrats to the other owner, too! I'll be making a trip to the tax office or DMV to get temporary tags in the morning on my way to work...

    Texas registration issues and steps to navigate them

    Thanks for the response. The final part seems well covered here in the forums. The FedEx package I received today didn't include the MCO or Texas forms, though. It just had the California forms mentioned. Were these California forms a step in your process before you received a second/final...

    Texas registration issues and steps to navigate them

    I'm excited that another Model S will hit Texas streets next week... mine! I read through this and other related threads which refer to what happens once you have the MCO, bill of sale and Texas application for registration. It looks like I'm still at the stage before this, though, and...
